This is a addition to the Metro, following up on some great childhood memories growing up in Northwest Detroit. I would encourage our readers out there to submit to me their childhood memories. I will research them, try to find pictures, and update our readers.
Little Mikey McCarty from Grand Rapids, Michigan writes... Kel, were you with us when Dad drove the family into Canada and asked a cop near the bridge: "Can you tell me how to get to Boofland?" I want to know more about Jingles. ED NOTE: Sir... No... I was not born yet, but here is some stuff about Boofland. 
| Jingles in Boofland Jingles in Boofland was a TV favorite of young Detroiters in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Jingles the court jester was played by Jerry Booth. Larry Sands operated and voiced the puppets Herkimer Dragon and Cecil B. Rabbit as well as playing the King of Boofland, Mr. Binki the Postman and various other characters. One of the most memorable parts of the program was the Boofland Loyalty Song, which was sung at the conclusion of every show. | .
